Boss, He’s Becoming a Father

Chapter 18: The Prodigal Son (18)

    In Shao Yu's memory, the old couple have been together for many years.

    Seeing that Shao Yu didn't speak, Wang scolded again: "Do you have to kill our mother to be happy?"

    Wang's face was full of disgust, obviously full of resistance to what Shao Yu did.

    Shao Xiaocao immediately said, "Mother, there must be some misunderstanding..."

    Shao Xiaocao still firmly believes that Shao Yu did nothing wrong.

    But Wang Shi pushed her away again and said, "You are a broom star, and your father must kill for you."

    Shao Xiaocao's face suddenly showed a look of sadness, and she also realized at this time that it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she could not make Wang's satisfaction with herself.

    "If you blame me, blame me, don't push the child." Shao Yu helped Shao Xiaocao, and then said to her: "You go into the room and leave us alone."

    Shao Xiaocao gave Shao Yu a worried look, but Shao Yu nodded to her, indicating that she was fine.

    After coaxing her daughter back into the room, Shao Yu also walked towards the back room, he didn't want to quarrel with Wang standing in the yard.

    But in this short period of time, Wang Shi seemed to have figured out the countermeasures. She rushed into the house and searched carefully, not even Shao Xiaocao's room was spared , found all the valuable things left in the house, put them in a package, and made a look like they were going to go out.

    "Are you ready?" Shao Yu asked.

    Wang said with a cold face, "I want to send these back to my parents' house."

    "Where's Dabao? Don't you leave it to him?" Shao Yu asked.

    Send all the things in the family back to her mother's house, obviously there is no return, Shao Yu thought that the good things should be left to Dabao.

    Wang said: "When Dabao comes back, the family will naturally return these things to me."

    Shao Yu was shocked by her innocence and asked, "Why?"

    Wang shi said with plausibility: "You have committed a crime, can you still keep your family property? It is a little if you can keep it."

    "What if Dabao can't come back?" Shao Yu asked curiously.

    Wang shi immediately widened his eyes and said, "My treasure must not be dead! He still has to take the top spot!"

    Shao Yu heard the words, and secretly said that the mother and son are still deeply in love.

    She suddenly thought of something, stretched out her hand, and said to Shao Yu: "Give me the shop contract."

    "Send it back to her parents' home?" Shao Yu asked.

    Wang nodded.

    Shao Yu shook his head and said, "I plan to pass the shop to Xiaocao."

    When Mrs Wang heard this, her eyes darkened with anger, and she said, "That's a girl, how much property do you want to give her!"

    "Probably all."

    Shao Yu said something that made Wang's blood pressure keep rising.

    "You are really crazy, not to mention murder and arson, and now you are still fascinated by that dead girl!" The more and more Wang Shi cursed, she even blurted out: "Separate the family, let's split the family. !"

    "How can the husband and wife split up." Shao Yu said, and added: "If you really want to split, that is also called reconciliation."

    "Yes, Heli, I want to be with you!" Wang said loudly.

    She was a little afraid of Shao Yu at first, but when she thought of her husband doing something outside, she was afraid that she and Dabao would be implicated, and she wanted to run as far as possible.

    "We reconcile, what about Dabao? Can't find it yet?" Shao Yu asked again.

    Wang said immediately: "Of course you want to get it back. You promised me that you will get your son back."

    Shao Yu was helpless and asked, "Who do I get back with?"

    Wang just wanted to talk to herself, but in this era, children all follow their fathers, and she is forty-five years old, so she can remarry.

     

    And she is still Dabao's mother after all, even if Dabao is admitted to Juren in the future, he will not deny her.

    The Wang family is just an ordinary low-level commoner. He has no idea of ​​observing festivals. He has no bad contact with the matter of remarriage.

    Shao Yu asked again: "Aren't you afraid of Dabao's high school in the future, you won't be able to enjoy the blessings of the people?"

    Wang Shi immediately said proudly: "Dabao is my son, how could he not recognize his mother?"

    "Da Bao follows the father who committed the crime, are you really relieved?" Shao Yu asked again.

    Wang said immediately: "You find him, prepare money for him, and you continue to escape. As long as you are not caught, Dabao will not be affected."

    Shao Yu suddenly laughed when he heard the words, and said, "If my father committed a crime, can my son still participate in the imperial examination?"

    When Wang Shi heard this, he was stunned, and the flames in his eyes were all extinguished, as if life had lost all hope in an instant.

    Shao Yu continued: "You are your own mother and son. You care so much about him, and you will definitely not mind that he cannot participate in the scientific examination."

    Wang's whole body suddenly exploded and said, "My son can't take the scientific examination, what else can I expect?"

    Shao Yu asked in surprise: "Do you really expect him to be admitted to the exam?"

    Wang's face stiffened.

    Shao Yu continued: "Dabao's temperament, even if he is admitted, will be a disaster, maybe the court's Shangfang sword will cut him."

    Wang Shi heard this, she was completely hopeless, she no longer had any nostalgia for this family, and said: "Heli, both children belong to you!"

    "That shop?" Shao Yu asked.

    "It must be given to Dabao!" Although Wang Shi had no hope for Shao Dabao, her instinct for many years still led her to protect Shao Dabao for the last time.

    "Everything other than the shop is given to Xiaocao?" Shao Yu asked again.

    Wang thought that the Shao family had nothing of value except for the shop, so he said, "I'm too lazy to care about you!"

    "Then what's in your package?" Shao Yu glanced at the package in Wang's hand.

    I immediately went in and hugged the package tightly in my arms, and said, "I've been a cow and a horse for your Shao family for so many years, what's wrong with this thing!"

    Shao Yu had long thought that this would be the result, but he didn't care, and asked, "The money I gave you?"

    Wang immediately turned his face and said, "You killed and robbed so much money, and you still want money from me?"

    She covered her purse tightly, as if she was afraid that Shao Yu would come and grab her.

    Shao Yu did not do such a rude thing, but asked: "You want to leave with me because I killed someone? What if I didn't do anything wrong?"

    After hearing this, Mrs Wang said without thinking: "If it doesn't matter, I will also leave with you, and spoil the girl all day long, are you out of your mind? ?"

    "Is it because I dote on my daughter too much?" Shao Yu asked again.

    When Mr. Wang heard the words, he did not answer directly, but said: "A girl, you are so spoiled, something will happen sooner or later!"

    Shao Yu nodded and said, "Then I will write you a book of He Li."

    Wang was illiterate at first, so she didn't even look at the writing after Heli finished writing, she directly pressed her handprint on it, holding the package containing all the valuable things of the Shao family, and the Yu gave the silver, and hurriedly walked out.

    "Mother, where are you going?" Shao Xiaocao chased out and asked.

    Wang shi continued to run out as if he hadn't heard it and never looked back.

    Shao Xiaocao stood there blankly, watching Wang's back slowly disappear.

    Shao Yu came out and said to her: "You pack up your clothes, let's go out together to find your brother."

    Although Shao Xiaocao was full of doubts, she turned around and did what her father said.

    The little girl didn't have much clothes, so the most stuff she put in her package was the material for lanterns. The carriage prepared by Shao Yu at the door.

      Thick pads were also added to the carriage.

    The carriage left Qingzhou City and went all the way west, but not to the Canal Camp.

     Shao Yu had to buy things for her that she had never played before.

    Shao Xiaocao has never enjoyed it like this, so she has a heavy psychological burden along the way.

    "Dad bought you these things in the hope that you can enjoy the fun these things bring, instead of watching you feel sad all the time because of your distressed money." Shao Yu said warmly.

    Shao Xiaocao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, before she said, "I'm always afraid that my family has no money."

    "It's okay, the family has money." Shao Yu said.

    With just such a sentence, Shao Xiaocao unconditionally believed it and stopped asking more questions.

    Shao Yu thought about it for a while and warned again: "The carriage is bumpy, don't put lanterns on the carriage, it is easy to hurt your hands."

    After Shao Xiaocao relieved her psychological burden, she replied softly, and the whole person seemed to have become a lot lighter.

    The carriage left Qingzhou for five days and arrived at a prefecture called Nanzhou. Just when Shao Xiaocao thought that she had to rest and continue on her way, Shao Yu rented a shop here .

    The layout of this shop is somewhat similar to that of the Shao family's old shop. The front is the shop for business, and the back is the house yard where people can live.

    "There is also a shop at home, why come here to rent a shop?" Shao Xiaocao asked curiously.

    Shao Yu replied, "For your brother."

    Shao Xiaocao felt confused when she heard it, but Shao Yu did not continue, so she obediently asked again.

    The newly opened shop is not a simple lantern shop, but sells groceries. Shao Yu does not seem to be particularly concerned about business. , he directly closed the shop for a day, so the business in the shop was naturally not good.

    Shao Xiaocao was very anxious at first, but after Shao Yu said it once, he didn't care anymore.

      Go outside the city.

    Before the New Year's Day, there were more people on the street. Many people went into the city to buy New Year's goods. Shao Yu went out against the flow of people, which seemed a little out of place.

    Shao Yu had a direction in his heart, and went straight to the tea house ten miles outside the city. After sitting down with his back to the official road, he bought a bowl of tea soup from the store. On the road, two ragged beggars walked over together.

    Shao Dabao was wearing a tattered suit, his eyes were dull, and his face was abnormally flushed. At this time, he was supported by a beggar with a sick face, and a gust of cold wind blew, Shao Dabao shivered from the cold.

    "Dabao, there is a tea house in front of us. We will take shelter there. If we are lucky, maybe we can get a bowl of hot water to drink." A Mao gave Dabao a weak smile. .

    The corner of Shao Dabao's mouth twitched in annoyance, he didn't understand, the guy beside him was a beggar like him, why he could always maintain such an optimistic and positive attitude.

    At that time, Shao Dabao was ill and ran out of the camp. He wanted to return to Qingzhou, but he couldn't see the road at night. As the officials said, he stepped into the canal.

    It's just that he was lucky and was trapped in the canal all night. When he woke up again, he was picked up by A Mao in a ruined temple.

    Amao is about the same age as Shao Dabao, but he has been a beggar for fifteen years. Since his mother passed away, Amao has become a homeless little beggar.

    Amao is different from Shao Dabao. Although he is begging along the street, he never complains, but is always positive and optimistic.

    Just picking up Shao Dabao is a real bad thing for A Mao. There are many beggars in the broken temple, and one more person means one more place.

    Amao was already sick, and now there is another Shao Dabao who doesn't look very good. The group of beggars immediately united and began to target the two of them.

    Amao was loyal, but even if he tried his best, he failed to give Shao Dabao a chance to stay. Instead, the two were driven out by the beggars together.

    In the severe winter, she had to find a place to avoid the cold. Ah Mao had no choice but to bring Shao Dabao to the nearby Nanzhou City to look for opportunities.

    "I want to go back to Qingzhou." Shao Dabao said sadly.

    "Okay, okay." Amao immediately coaxed.

    "I'm going to Qingzhou!" Shao Dabao said again, seeming to understand that Ah Mao's indulgent indulgence towards him is boundless, that's why Shao Dabao loses his temper like this.

    Faced with Shao Dabao, who has a temper of a child, Ah Mao seemed to have infinite patience and said, "Don't worry, Dabao, we will go to Qingzhou when spring begins."

    Shao Dabao stopped calling when he heard this. Although he was in a hurry to return to Qingzhou, he knew that A Mao was right, but he was still unhappy. As for A Mao's care for him, It was also interpreted by him that Ah Mao wanted to benefit from him, maybe he was jealous of his parents and family.

    Shao Dabao thought in his heart, when he saw Qingzhou City, he must think of ways to get rid of the troublesome Amao.

    Amao didn't know Dabao's inner thoughts at all, and said, "Dabao, haven't you read a book? Just think a couple of auspicious words, I will go to the store to ask for water."

    Dabao snorted twice, and after racking his brains, he finally managed to squeeze out two simple words.

    "Dabao is really amazing, it's different after reading a book." Ah Mao boasted very sincerely.

    Shao Dabao heard this, if he was still ill at this time and his body was too heavy, otherwise he would tremble.

    A Mao supported him, found a leeward place, carefully placed him on the ground, and then walked into the tea room.

    The little Er in the tea house saw the ragged beggar, and immediately drove away impatiently. Ah Mao was not at all unhappy when he was scolded, but still said auspicious words with a smile.

    Shao Yu heard that a customer beside him stopped the second shopkeeper: "It's a big New Year's day, please stop scolding."

    The shop assistant didn't say anything, A Mao said: "The guest officer makes a fortune in the new year, great luck."

    What A Mao said was the auspicious words that Shao Dabao was thinking about, which was in line with Shao Dabao's true level.

      come over.

    The businessman pointed to the half bowl of red date soup on his table and said, "I can't drink it, so drink it."

    Amao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you guest, thank you guest, a fortune in the new year, great luck!"

    Amao has never read a book, so he can only say these two sentences over and over, but these two simple words made the businessman very happy.

    Amao picked up the bowl of soup, took a sip, and immediately his eyes lit up, and soon ran to Shao Dabao's side, feeding most of the remaining soup little by little To Shao Dabao.

    Shao Dabao hadn't had this kind of soup for a long time, so he devoured it so much that he couldn't help licking the bowl until he was finished.

    As for Ah Mao who only took a sip, Shao Dabao didn't think about it at all, and even thought that when the bowl of soup came, there was only half a bowl, so Ah Mao must have drank it.

    "Anything else? I still want to drink." Shao Dabao asked confidently.

    Amao is a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of guest's sudden kindness does not always happen.

    At this time, the shop assistant also came over and asked very viciously: "Stinky beggar, have you finished drinking, return the bowl to me soon after drinking."

    Amao took the bowl from the reluctant Shao Dabao and handed it over.

    The shopkeeper gave it a disgusting look and muttered, "The bowls are all soiled by you."

    Amao didn't care at all after hearing this, but Shao Dabao said impatiently: "You are still chattering when someone gives you money?"

    Amao quickly grabbed Shao Dabao, motioned him to stop talking, and then apologized to the shopkeeper Er.

    Seeing that he has such a good temper, the shop assistant was embarrassed to continue sarcasm, so he turned around and left.

    Amao sat next to Dabao, squinting his eyes and looking up.

    The sun shines on her body, it is obviously two beggars, but it gives a feeling of lazy comfort.

     "Dabao, do you know what kind of soup this is?" A Mao asked curiously.

     

    When he said this, A Mao was not at all unhappy, but said: "It's so delicious, it's like drinking the sun into your stomach, it's warm, if you can drink it for a lifetime Sweet red dates soup, how good would that be?"

    Shao Yu, who was not far away, froze slightly when she heard this.

    A Mao's heartfelt sigh, in the future, Shao Dabao once said to the general's father countless times, to remind the general again and again that he used to beg outside, after so many years hard days in exchange for the general's compromise.

    Shao Yu did not expect that Shao Dabao not only replaced the identity of others, but also directly stole these words.

    At this time, Shao Dabao's disdainful words rang in his ears: "What is sweet red jujube soup, I don't know."

    Amao didn't get angry when he said that, but laughed twice.

    Two beggars sat outside the tea house all morning, perhaps because of the festival, the passers-by were a little more kind in the face of the beggars, and they got five coins in one day .

    Shao Dabao stared at the five cents of money in A Mao's hand and said, "I've been hungry for so long, hurry up and take the money to buy something to eat."

    As an experienced beggar, A Mao shook his head and said, "You don't need to buy it, today is New Year's Eve, as long as you beg sincerely, there will definitely be kind-hearted people who will give you food."

    Shao Dabao was unhappy, and said with disgust: "You still let me eat leftovers for the New Year, and starve me like this, do you still want to be my brother?"

    Amao has no relatives, so he treats Shao Dabao, who he picked up, as his own younger brother. He doesn't get angry when he hears this, but patiently persuades him: "Dabao, five cents of money can only buy some steamed buns, but If you go to beg for food, maybe you can beg for meat."

    Amao has rich experience and knows that this time of the Chinese New Year is the time when people are most generous.

    When Shao Dabao heard the word "meat", he felt a saliva rushing from the root of his teeth. He never thought that one day he would be so greedy for meat.

    Amao is still carefully describing the taste of meat to him at this time. Amao may only eat meat once a year, so it takes a whole year to carefully recall the taste of meat , can only be described in great detail.

    "As soon as I took a bite, my mouth squeaked and oily, and my mouth was full of fragrance, all the way to my stomach..."

    Shao Dabao never even thought that someone could describe the taste of meat like this. He even felt that the meat he used to eat was the same as eating it for nothing.

    "Are you going into the city now?" Shao Dabao even asked eagerly.

    Without waiting for Ah Mao to answer, the two beggars sitting on the ground were shrouded in a shadow.

    One stood in front of the two with his back to the sunlight.

    Shao Dabao squinted his eyes, he only felt like it had been a century before he could clearly see what this man looked like.

    The rickety old man, for some reason, now looks extraordinarily tall.

    "Dad..." Shao Dabao heard his own voice, full of unreal illusions.

    When Ah Mao heard this, he glanced at Shao Yu, and then at Shao Dabao beside him. His heart was sour and happy. He felt envious and happy for Shao Dabao.

    "You look a lot like my son." Shao Yu said.

    A Mao was stunned. For some reason, he felt that Shao Yu was looking at himself when he said this.

    Shao Dabao also fully reacted at this time, and he was about to jump on Shao Yu, crying and shouting: "Father, you finally found me!"

    But Shao Yu was very agile and hid to the side, and Shao Dabao threw himself in the air.

    "Dad?" Shao Dabao asked in surprise.

    Shao Yu looked at him and said, "I don't know you."

    Shao Dabao lay on the ground, his heart was half cold, and he said, "Dad, this is not a joke."

    Shao Yu no longer looked at him, but instead stared at A Mao, and said again: "You really look like my son."
